uh it's max rank 9

how do i move the camera to see the front of my face
you're using it to go from 10 to 11
so you can't level up a chocobo inside a stable
Arrow keys will rotate the camera, or you can left-click and drag
you have to pull it out from the stable, kill something
at least I have the onion for later
it will rank up and then you can put it back in the stable
alphi wheres your sister lol
guys i have a quest where i should equip all gear pieces but i dont have a helm where to get a helm?yeea im that noob
Buy from merchants nearby
Or do some sidequests that rewards them

Hammer logo is repairman@molten spruce

Though sometimes they can be a merchant AND mender
im confusd

useless
when a msq has a lvl req, whats the best way to level then?
Dungeons
even if i did daily roulette?
only dungeons drop gear correct?
you can only have 3 specialist stones at a time right?
Highest level dungeon spam to level
@acoustic island lots of duties drop gear
Raids drop tokebs to trade for gear, extreme trial drops weapons and sometimes accessories..
Savage drops gear coffers for new savage and raw gear old
alliance raids drop gear
And that
should i be spamming dungeons if im just raising ilvl to catch up to shadowbringer
!faq gearguide
when i speak in alliance chat who can read it?
Read lv80
everyone
Heyy everyone, I wanted to know where should I search for a FC that got members that are lvl 80 and play a lot (6 hours a day-ish) & focus on Raids/Trials on Gilgamesh ?
Everyone in the instance
recruitment channel
Of that alliance
alliance is gc?
might not find people who play that often because of work
No
you've never done an alliance raid
3 parties come together to form a alliance
so u cant queue for raids?
Yes
well they're labeled as separate entities
how long does it take to unlock the raids for anima farming?
not that long
guys i have quick question if i wanna lvl up fast should i do side quests or only main scenario quests
Story
side quests are bad for exp
Will carry you through the first job
and roulettes
hi guys how do i satisfy the zhloe gathering collectability?
Story and job quests
no
Raise the collectiblity by raising quality @leaden ginkgo
ohhh ok
and you get an exp reward daily
@faint flare so basically get lucky and have them HQ as I gather?
but i'm guessing you're low lvl so you don't really need it
:S i-
oh T_T ty... It wasnt on my hotbar,thanks so much this changed everything for me XD
@faint flare <33
do you have to do every normal and savage raid up to A9S for the farming?
Yes
Normal is duty finder easily
yeah I meant normal

Heyy, what does "static" mean in the recruitment channel ?
Why'd they remove DX9 support
A set group of people who run content at set times
Is a static
A static group of people
Static as in dont really change compared to the revolvung roulette of randoms.
oh alright makes sense haha, thanks @faint flare @whole wasp
So there arent any more job quests from curious george when is the next one
when you reach the next level for it?
Hmmm it was lvl 50 im 57 now
Are you in heavensward
No
that's why
Burning through post arr
ARR job quests only go to 50
In skipping all thr fetch quest diologue
is there a mod that will tell you what items are priced on the market while you are fishing or harvesting or anything?
And reading main stuff
No
I thought mods were a no no
SE is lenient. If you're not using it to harass, cheat or break rules/laws then they let it slide
For the most part
They dont want to spy on you like valorant. Just dont brag about it ingame
Ok what’s happening? I have a party member who is doing fates in Completely different area than me and whenever he starts one and pulled me out of the cutscenes l
Is There a way I can fix that or does he just have to leave the party whenever we’re done with the mission?
/raid
Well it is
Hi there, I'm new and I'm on the trial. Do I have access to retainers??
But why would it pull me into a cut scene if he’s doing it
Someone doing a FATE in a different zone won’t affect you
What's the command for checking reset?
@charred ruin no you dont
Pull me out of*
As I said
Its "!reset"
It’s happened twice already and it’s really annoying
Thank!
@charred ruin no you dont
@faint flare darn. That kind of sucks. Thanks
Probably cutscene wants to put you into a solo duty which you can’t be in a party for is my guess.
I had to redo an entire RAID floor level to finish my CS
A person doing FATEs in another zone doesn’t pull you out of cutscenes.
Raid?
Huh?
That doesn’t make sense
I’m trying to do Alexander
And for whatever reason I keep getting pulled out of Catherines and into another duty that is my partner’s current level
And he’s trying to level up his red mage
... so not FATEs
Pulled out of cut scenes
Are you being queued for the wrong duty?
I think he’s doing fates to lvl up
Um
I’m the party leader so that doesn’t make sense
That shouldn’t affect you in any way
You’re being queued for raid duties without your input is what you’re telling me?
So, you're somehow partied up doing Alexendar while he's off doing something else?
I’m still not really sure what you mean
Ya and whatever he’s doing is pulling me out of the cut scenes
if a node isn't popping for me at lvl 80 gathering, is that a gear issue?
It’s definitely not what he’s doing, for starters.
I'm more concerned with how you're starting Alexender with someone in your party that isn't also pulled into Alexender...
He’s trying to level up his other class while we are in queue for Alexander but for whatever reason it keeps messing up the CS
popping as in spawning
something not adding up guys its like forcing me to do side quests or im tripping cuz i was doing main quests and im lvl 6 suddenly the quest jumped to lvl 10..
Or you dont have the required folklore book
Sounds like you’re queuing up for the same Alexander floor more than once by accident.
For the node
Weird
Yes
Idk I’m not mad at him or anything I’m just curious what’s happening
Ensure you untick completed floors in duty finder, otherwise you’ll queue for them again when you try to do the next one.
Because it’s not his fault it’s whatever the game developers decided that it would be a good idea to do that
You need the scrips to buy the folklore tokens to purchase books
It’s nothing to do with your friend at all
Like 40 tokens per book
You’ve made a mistake somewhere
But I need to do the cut scenes before I can do that。。。
@dusky creek What mission? Though, yes, depending on how things work out you might have to spend some time doing stuff to get XP. Working through the hunting log might be better than sidde quests
I don’t know it’s weird
What quest are you on, and what is your current objective?
@dusky creek I found doing levequests helped a lot, I'm four levels above my current MSQ.
is it better to join a preferred server or a higher populated server as a new player?
Preferred server preferably
Preferred servers are often highly populated. It's not really a concern with the server being dead.
Server population doesn't matter much due to World visit and everything being cross data centre
Higher populated servers tend to prevent new characters so, I think preferred
Preferred servers exist as an incentive to balance server populations, and they work very well for this purpose.
When a server falls slightly under (and it’s only slightly, populations are pretty balanced thanks to this system) they make it preferred and people flock to it
And by the next patch it’s usually not preferred any longer.
New players joining a preferred server is recommended. You get a 2x exp boost and there are no real drawbacks.
I actually preferred not to do that, I didn't want to level too far ahead of my current msq
I like taking it slow my first time around
it's good for leveling multiple classes
and there's not really a drawback to being overleveled since you get synced down
I know, it's just a preferential thing
Besides, I haven't really felt like leveling is too slow
Between leves, hunting logs and fates, it's pretty fast
You generally feel the slowdown in the latest expansion
Since the previous expansion EXP gets boosted when the next one comes out
So current expansion content will see you hit lots of level gates unless you’ve been consistently doing roulettes
is there a way to filter out new players so i don't have to wait for ppl watching cutscenes
No
ah okay so they just made duty into a cancer pit
thanks for the info
i was planning on making a character on adamantoise but its closed to new characters rn
is there a specific time that i should check again
cutscenes take like 20 seconds
not if you get shit like praetorium
that's msq roulette so ofc?
No one can skip cutscenes in Prae
Those are unskippable anyway
^
You’d still get cutscenes if no one was new
wasn't how it was in my days
if you queue for msq roulette then expect it to take like 40 mins
Thats why the roulette bonus is so high
And they changed it because it ruined the experience for new players
they can just watch the cutscenes on their own
And mega buffed the roulette rewards
that ruins the dungeon
why bother putting all those cutscenes in the dungeon if everyone is just going to skip
Just dont do msq roulette if you dont want movie time
yep
Not like you can't pop open something else in the mean time
I hear people have two monitors
I mean I'm on a laptop, so I'll just start at my ceiling if I ever reach that point 😅
if you have a laptop you probably have an HDMI port
which you can use for a second monitor
so 1 folklore tome needs 40 tokens costing 100 each?
isn't that a bit too grindy?
it takes more to grind that than all the white scripts combined

doing kai-shirr weekly, even if you're on the first tier of turn ins
should get you all of the folklore you need eventually
only need to grind for the books once per expansion anywho
any new nodes are automatically added to your book provided you've learned the tome
tsubame-gaeshi's dot will overwrite higanbana, so ya should be using it on midare
because it's used on 2/3
so it's probably easier to just make it work on the 3rd one even if it's suboptimal
than program an exception for it
I think there might be a small use for it when vs 2 targets
Like putting Higabana on both targets on like TEA or ifirit/garuda in E6
hmm
giving the sam channels a quick glance, seems like they dont think its worth even then
manual dot is better is what i'm seeing
whatis the advisedarmor lvl for potd 51-60?
Mmm true since you can get the one sen quickly
I haven't run potd in a while, so I'm not sure what's really advised (assuming matched party), but if I remember correctly, floors sync you to the floor number + 5 if your aetherpool is higher, so if that's still accurate, then 65/65 would ensure you're synced for the entire block.
btw i can seem to enter blood of the dragon in potd, is that not a lvl 60 skill?
Geirskogual is just a damaging skill
im wanting to enter the red aura
Blood of the dragon actives blood, the blue aura
witch triggers after blue
Life is the red aura which is lv70
so its not possible in potd
No
makes sense now

You can't augment/improve the landking/handking set at 70 right?
it'll last till you can get facet
Is desynth capped to your profession's level?
or can you have maxed out gsm desynth but level 30 gsm
Apparently the next patch is gonna remove some filler quests from arr. does that mean people are gonna leave the game because of it?
People will leave for any reason
They're referred to as "filler" quests because they add little or no value to the actual story.
Assuming they do it properly, it's unlikely they would remove anything that would upset people to the point they would abandon the game outright.
Is PvP a good way to level up DPS classes?
Hey, I was thinking, what is the palace of the dead for ? It is fun but what do you get in terms of rewards out of it ?
pvp has the upset that you dont have to play that job to level it
can queue as the job you want to level > swap to something else when you enter pvp
most people use potd to level alt jobs
specifically dps since the queues for potd generally are quicker for them than dungeon queues
where do i exchange iron trimmed sacks?
Palace of the Dead rewards glowy weapons, mounts, and various miscellaneous items you can sell to players/NPC for gils
A NPC nearby the POTD entrance
Which NPC do you talk to to play POTD?
wood wailer expeditioner
South-west of that NPC should be the NPC that takes iron trimmed sacks
He's standing right next to the lady who explains POTD and does stuff
ive got no idea where thqt is
It comes from those sack Akimbo is asking about
You get various sacks with unknown content
oh found it
Then you talk to a nearby NPC to "find" (RNG) what's in them
can i put materia on my potd armor?
well it says: exchange artifacts
And level up those weapon/armor
You're talking to the lady, right?
yes
You exchange sacks with the dude to the left of the lady
woah but forging reduces 10 lvls
Yeah. Takes -30 from weapon and armor to get a single Padjal weapon
You use it, it does something pretty
im gettin lvl 1 armor
How does Tinkers Calm work? Says +30 Desynthesis skill gain. What does that mean?
Sacks from potd have RNG-ish rewards
Glamour only gears are always gonna be ilvl 1
Furthermore, you have iron sacks
It ain't gonna produce million Gil item
Some of the stuff in levels 80+ are pretty expensive cause not a lot of people run them. There's some mounts and what not up there.
how do i leave a FC
Oh. Moogle tribe is crafting. Uhhh.... Well crap. Guess I'll be doing me some crafting here soon
At least it's almost unlocked now
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the game. I was just wondering what the best server for someone in the EU would be? I'm looking for an active server so the more users online the better really! Thanks 🙂
I'm in England

When ps5 comes out will our ps4 versions transfer over?
How to I apply my dlc codes to the steam version
put them into mog station
Is there a way to store the level 70 job gear into the armoury?
like restoring or something?
can you get reported for harassment for using the slap emote
just buy them from the calamity salvager
The antiquated ones?
Will castrum meridianum be shorter in 5.3?
I just slap em into the armoury chest for whenever I wanna dress up in the job gear
they've not mentioned anything in regards to prae or castrum for the 5.3 adjustment
like i'm not sure what you mean tbh. because the armoury chest is just your gear inventory
Can only hope
Is the lv 15 set from novice hall better than the lv 15 hq gear? Gonna craft the lv 15 gear if not
yes, hall of novice gear can last you a fair bit into your 20s
i wanna say its like 21-22 or so
I'll craft it for lv 22 then 😮 thank you!
Sorry Kael, im derpin hard
I meant the armourie chest which you can access in inns
the one that only specific pieces of gear can be stored there
unfortunately, no there's no way to put any af beyond AF1 into it
damn
you'll have to throw af3 into the glamour dresser
im assuming you cant get reported for harassment for using the slap emote
one slap? probably not
but if you're repeatedly annoying someone with it
yes, you can
especially if asked to stop
has it happened before
You can get reported for anything. It's just whether the report does anything or not that is in question.
specifically the slap emote? afaik no
Can I abandon and repick up a beast-tribe quest?
but i do know of a few instances where people had a gm talk to them about emote spam
yes, xbye
an error keeps occuring when i try to switch servers
What error?
What are Ultros, Behemoth, etc after people’s names in dungeon chats? Different servers?
yes thats the server the person's home world is
How do I change my chocobos diaper
How do you see which server your on
@gloomy mortar should be top right corner by default
yep
Hard-line.
@tender estuary
Are Market Boards one per server?
I can't do hardline
disable windows defender anti virus and firewall
@gloomy mortar yes
How lol
try a different network method
I've tried downloading on data and running as admin but it still won't work
See if you need to update internet explorer
you might have to use a VPN
Can't use a phone network that was my problem.
or try to download it in a different location
Ahhh
Odd, I saw someone buy one of my items on the MB who I know is on a different server
but you can't sell
Why would you visit another server?
"Home World Tranfer Status- - An unexpected error has occurred.

Are there any vpn's that wouldn't cost money though? Seems a bit much to buy a whole vpn just to download a patch file

Hmm, though tit had a free one in there
What is Avere’s last name?
Hmm, I might try that then
retainers are shared between characters on the same DC right?
Retainers aren't shared at all
So why does Eddas name change from Proudhart to Black bosom or whatever
it doesnt work
i don't think he has one
most VPNs have a money back policy

so you can just get a refund after you're done using it
How did Edda lose her eye

This isn't really the channel to be asking about lore in
Assuming there is lore, I guess
there is and you're right
its in the lorebook
and tbh you should do tam tara hard mode and finish floor 50 of palace of the dead if you want a wrap of that story
it's the boss name too i see
Can’t read the story when everyone wants to speed run it or they kick
you can also go in solo by yourself
are they vote kicking you out of the dungeon for watching cutscenes
potd has been solo'd in its entirety by every job but ast at this point
so floor 50 is more than doable
its just a matter of patience and a bit of luck
But even then, for floor 50 you don't need to do it solo
as the story portion is not in potd itself
Where is the story portion
its a side quest that unlocks after you've completed both tam tara hm and floor 50
from balan in south shroud
Does ishguardian restoration change the way location looks as you progress ?
It changes as the whole server progresses.
So it has to render the change live ?
The current phase of construction is complete on all servers so you won’t be seeing changes for the time being
Bruuh
But when the next stage of construction is introduced in a patch, it’ll start changing again
So how do you see what it looked like before the changes
there are SS of the progress if you wanna see them
What the heck, if I am late to that content than there is none for me to do in it ?
No, all the rewards are still there
They should have made it so it turns back to normal after a while and starts a new
You just won’t see the actual stage-by-stage progress
that wouldn't make sense
No thanks dude
How long
So I'll never be able to see how it was on the beginning and the way it was changing.... The big sad
since november of last year
Since patch 5.11
How did they manage to pull of the map changing live ?
@drifting atlas you know, during the course of ARR and HW patches Revenant’s Toll and Idyllshire underwent major changes
With each major patch
Still be on my opinion that it was only for those who made it into that content and not for all others, but oh well
Just wait until they hear about the calamity >_>
And you’ll be here for the next stage.
every time they brought the servers down for maintenance every tuesday, they had the opportunity to change the zones
Obviously it’s primarily for those there at the time
Owww
@twilit arch moved here since that was for glam, but do you need 99+ stat on both equip for floor 200? My friends are still 30ish
Should aim to probably have at least 90/90 to start I’d say
the nature of mmos is that there's going to be content available for set periods of time
Alright thank you!! Guess I finally have content to do while waiting for 5.3 
FF14 progression servers when? >_>
Me hopes be crushed. But that's no matter.
@nova wraith Baron circlet, a preorder bonus from HW, no longer obtainable
Mrcoob you’ve only missed like two main stages
And you can now be here for all the rest.
If you’re interested in a type of world-changing content that is specific to your own personal progress, check out the Doman Reconstruction
Takes away sense of accomplishment. I'll just have to get to par with rewards and what not as soon as I will hit 60.
There is also that ? Oh s***
ishgard restoration likely isnt going to be the last live changing event thing
Also beast tribe quests on a smaller scale
Is there a point to HQ Level 1 items ?
Yes
Some people might just want the satisfaction of having it HQ I guess
Makes no difference
Slightly more xp when crafting
But why HQ glam items selling for more money than NQ
like 5

Tha KS for the info, i am happy now XD
Obviously worth your money
Don't expect people to make smart decisions
is there a way to set up boss debuff bar so it only shows my debuffs/dots and not other people's?
for fishing, is it better to do the quest or grind the exp?
why would you not want to see other people's debuffs
Uuuuhh I’m not sure of that one, ask folks in #glamour-discussion @nova wraith
so I can enlarge the debuff bar and make it easier to track my dots
@heavy kettle what did you need help with?
don't believe so and it wold be a very bad idea anyway
didn't ask
you can set it so that your own debuffs/dots show up first in the debuff bar and is green color
so you know which one is yours
^
how can I do that?
@unique geyser Character configuration > UI Settings > HUD > Display only detrimental effects you inflict.
an error keeps occuring when i try to switch servers. "Home World Tranfer Status- - An unexpected error has occurred.
"
ty
Though your DoTs should be the first ones by default
At endgame it’s advisable to have others’ debuffs in because it’s nice to see trick attack timer and things
Or time your feint or addle or whatever with others’
Or just to suffer when you realise a party member isn’t using their DoTs
is that terribly necessary as a tank? I'm really just doing this to help keep track of my goring blade so I stop letting it fall off
every little bit helps. you can turn it back on once you get used to your goring timing as you get in more practice.
thanks. I just got out of a raid and I didnt notice a coloration difference on my dot vs. the other PLD's dot, so I was often confused as to which was mine. I'll check again next time
on a training dummy, this is what it looks like to me. Is it supposed to be green somewhere? or is it the green number that you're referring to?
I know, that's what I just asked
i'm saying the number
I’m a level 70 carpenter just from GC turn ins. Do I need/should go through the Carpenter Class quests to get skills or can I bypass it?
You'd be missing out on a couple skills from the higher level quests
Yes, do your quests
Starting in 60–70 you start getting skills from them
If mouseover text doesn’t say then
Quick maths exercise I guess
@unique geyser yes, the green number dot is your dot, the white number dot is the other paladin's dot just to clarify.
Is there a way to move the chat box in the HUD? It doesn't pop up as a moveable box for me.
click and drag the tab
Click-and-Drag the “general” tab button
Ah nice, thx
Or click other tabs to separate them from the general tab
Can also right-click the general tab to hide chat
So I'm about to get 80 on rdm, what's another super easy dps class?
Pref ranged/caster
whats the best way to lvl up to lvl 15, without story?
hunt logs, fates, possibly side quests
it is but once you learn it it's actually pretty braindead
it's just getting used to positionals that's hard
It’s a bit like DRG in the sense that there are only two combos that you rotate as needed.
Can anyone tell me how I can tell if a leve allows multiple turn ins? (e.g. Culinary leves)
by the leve plates
The leve plate will be different. There’s not really any other way to tell. Thing is even among level tiers, the plate will change.
and no that's not true at all eton
the plate is consistent, only time it changes is whether its arr-sb leve or shb leve
So charity plates are the ones that allows multiple turn ins?
yes
gotcha. Thanks
would never have guessed >.>
I guess it kinda fits. I need some charity for free xp
Right my bad, I just saw that they were different from SB to ShB and was already far overleveled before I noticed and didn’t verify. Apologies 😅
one last question, is there a way to make a hotbar clickthrough?
wym?
clickthrough? as in, your mouse doesnt interact with it
like locking it?
locking it from being able to click spells as well as normal locking
no i dont think so.
you can lock it normally as there should be a lock icon next to it
I didn't think so, but I figured I'd ask lol
locking it makes it so you cant drag the hotbar around or drag the buttons off it at least.
yeah
I was trying a thing where I put important spells on an extra hotbar and made that hotbar a little bigger and closer to screen center, but I didnt want to accidentally click them if I was trying to turn my camera for instance
use right click to turn your camera
hmm can't make it click thru
i think right click cant activate buttons
but you can make it more transparent at the very least
yeah, but also the name popup/tooltip is distracting and I was hoping to avoid that as well
thanks though, all good
you can turn off the tooltips iirc
you can either turn off tooltips or make them be in a fixed position
so that its not right there at your mouse
nice. I doubt you can disable the mouseover glow though
2 out of 3 is good enough for me I think
ty
when i get the expansion, i heard red mage is an easy dps class. why is that
It’s pretty straightforward and has most of its kit already complete as soon as you pick it up.

is it like a jack of all trades?
At any given moment, it's not too hard to quickly figure out the next thing you're supposed to do
compared to other classes
Dualcast feels a little funny to me, personally, but it gives you leniency for decisions. There’s little in the way of reflexive snap decisions and more time for planning.
huh, i'll have to see once i buy it
Aside from the fact that RDM eventually gets a rez and a minor cure, there isn't really anything Jack-of-all-trades about it
it may be possible i might main red mage
it doesn't have much in the way of strict rotations
there isn't a lot of memorization to do
and you do backflips
it really isnt
yeah
it's just getting your white and black magic up and then doing melee
along with other bells and whistles but that's the gist of it
that's it?
at it's core yeah
Pretty much, yeah.
what happens if you have too much of one element
do expansion classes start at 1 or 30
If it gets too far apart, it gets slower. But, at higher levels, in most cases you want them to be slightly imbalanced since you can guarantee starting with a proc after a melee combo.
huh, so if i buy the shadowbringer expansion or complete edition, i could start the heavensward storyline as rdm
yep
Yeah. It’s not story locked. Only level locked.
only the heavensward expansion classes are weird with their requirements
all the others are just level locked
is there a maximum amount of glamour you can do?
and glamour is when you turn an armor into a costume
Glamour plates or anything in the glamour chest can be recast as often as you like but require returning to an inn every time you want to use them. Using regular prisms is limited only by the amount of prisms you can hold.
any recommendations for the most useful chocobo build?
I feel like some of these trees can be very underwhelming
The glamour chest has a limit of 400 items however and you can save only 15 plates at a time though.
usually i recommend getting atleast choco regen
then you have the option of continuing to full healer build, going to choco cure and then putting into attacker or going into attacker from choco regen
that said, the defender tree should pretty much be ignored unless you max out your chocobo (rank 20)
but can they use all those skills at the same time? Or do I have to spec dance the choco
so long as your chocobo is in free stance
ah ok
they will use any and all skills they've learned
If you want them to only use skills from a specific tree, then you put them in the appropriate stance
Do the deity’s do anything?
nope
Patron deity and birthday are just flavor.
Not once lol
Lmso
lmao
Hey I just got the game how do I get access to the samurai and gun breaker
Oh gotcha thanks
Is there a key or command that brings you close to your target? I know /follow only works on PCs.
what class and level are you
Marauder at the moment only just getting started again. I was curious if I need to fully control running at a mob.
at lvl 62 you get a gap closer
you don't really need to run at mobs since you have ranged attacks
Okay thanks.
I heard there was a mount you can get when you have all the primal horses. How do I get?
If I know the instance (final boss, trial, raid etc) will end before Divination comes off cooldown, should I just minor arcana all cards instead?
Also, if Div is about to come off CD but I don't have three diff seals yet, should I just rush a third seal and launch it as a 2-card Divination, or delay it in case my next card/reroll yields the third unique seal?
you mean once you have all the primal horses?
there's a quest in mor dhona when you collect all of them @slate crow
Creeping. These are the kinds of questions you head over to the balance for
you can run div at 2seals
@gritty oracle you should put out a 2seal div
as in 2same 1 different
don't delay your divination too much
its worth
it's only a 1% difference
reason why you would delay divination is if you know the boss is going to go invul or phase change
where you're not going to get the most use out of it
what's the best way to get crystal sand for anima weapons if I can't farm guild leve chests?
with heavensward leves
ok but what id I can't do those
you can unlock them easily?
there's a quest in mor dhona when you collect all of them @slate crow
@little swift there’s so many quests there, I can’t tell which
They’re out of leve allowances though. Crafting/gathering is another good way to do it
@slate crow legend for a legend from the wandering minstrel
what's the point of airships?
talk to the minstrel in the bar leading to the rising stone
yeah I spent all the allowances I had and got like 15 of those amber things
are they worth the cost?
what crafter lvl do you need to be?
cheaper than aetherytes
airships/subs are pretty good money makers
Thanks
@frozen karma could also farm primal EX if you want
oh. unique rewards for good cash
aaa
im lvl 60 cooking and still a noob at this game but is there any foods i can craft and sell in MP that people would need at this level or do i gotta wait to hit lvl 80 before i am able to make money?
Job quests items or leve quest turn ins are usually good options until then. @normal breach
i would recommend picking up a specialist thingy
once u get 80 to help with hqing raid food
drown yourself in Coffee biscuits 😛
o also mejillones al ajillo
or however its spelled
sells for a ton since its the best crafting food rn i think but requires a difficult to get mat if u don't have a fisher levelled
@gloomy ice ty is there somewehre i can see what turn in/job quest foods i should be making?
like what lvl range? or should i just be doing the highest i can
for leves?
so like level 50+ turn ins
what is returners bounty
rewards for coming back to the game
yeah but what
Do the “why did you become an adventurer” matter at all?
novice network access, and exp boost when you're in a party with mentor until lvl20
like none of your dialogue choices matter @white ether
basically nothing really
Kk
@normal breach Check lower level levequests and make a few as HQ to sell on MB. CUL class quests items also sell decently. I don’t recall any of the specific things off hand but the list of class quest items shouldn’t be too difficult to find online.
ok ty
is there a way to see provision turn in items online anywhere? i may make some of those
doing Sheep Snatcher quest where I have to use a blowgun to shoot a lost lamb. Can't seem to find the blowgun. Not in my key items
@summer haven It isn’t an item, it’s used at a destination. Look for the sparkly patch of ground near the objective marker.
found it. thx

Hey if I’m pc can I add someone on ps4?
Does that person have to be on so I can add them?
Uh I believe so
yup
if you mail/trade a piece of gear to someone can they trade that to another person
They can
Is there a way to minimize the chat at the bottom left
As long as it isn’t bound
right click > hide @white ether
well does it bind once traded/mailed
No. Binding happens only when glamoured or worn and used.
ok cool
there's a lot of little details you can pick up on throughout the story
feelsgood to be able to run the game at ultra settings
just make sure not to do that mmo thing where you try to complete every
in an area
colossal waste of time
but you do you
I did that though Channy 👀
No ragrets
im gonna be a white mage
miqo'te
because i am that kind of person
and no i didnt pick voice 5
guys i just reached lvl 15 how to play dungeon?
Main quests
oh ok
^
These 
yhyh gotcha
Pretty much the answer to any question of "i just hit level X, how do i unlock Y" if you arent into like, Stormblood, is - DO THE 
occasionally this too
👌
Can you equip 2 of the same Shire rings?
No. But you can upgrade one of them and it counts as being different
buy a Illuminati Darkest Gobcoat from the last option on the vendor you bought your shire gear from, then take it to Seika to upgrade the ring.
You cannot have two of the same unique item in your inventory at a time
staying in the sanctuary doesn't improve GP regen, right?
Nope. GP regen is 5 per tick at base. Traits at higher levels improve it slightly per tick.
cool. Thanks
and for collecting stuff, it's always the same combo, rigth?
Discerning, Single mind, then methodical
then discerning methodical
then methodical
Yeah sounds about right

Is there any difference between using the bed at an inn or something to log out or logging out in any safe town?
logging out of an inn just shows a wake-up cutscene when you log back in
but otherwise logging out in a "sanctuary" will give you the opportunity to earn rested exp while away
even being afk in those areas is enough to earn some
As far as I'm aware, being AFK or logged out is the same rate of gain for rested exp as long as you're in an applicable area.
Ah. I thought you got more rested if you went to an inn. XD
nah
There was once a time where you could only get rested bonus through sleeping at the inn but they changed that very early.
What is DoL And DoH?
Gatherer and Crafter respectivley
disciple of the land and disciple of the hand
Disciple of Land and Hand. TL;DR Gather and Crafter.
gatherer/crafter
I recommend 1. Leveling all crafters at the same time 2. Leveling gatherers before crafters
Otherwise leveling crafters separately is going to cost you so much gil
Gatherers are stupid easy to level. Especially if you have the road to 70 buff.
With Diadem, I can burn through a commercial survival manual in half an hour tops
That's 12M xp
Is there a way to tell what new duties will be introduced in the next patch?
Look at previous expansions
Yeah go kidnap Yoshi-P and make him tell you.
hey friends try to minimize shitposting in this channel thanks
LF BLU so we can sticky tongue Yoshi right into our van
Like, if 4.3 released the third alliance raid, then 5.3 will also release the third alliance raid. Releases have become very predictable.
At least that's what a friend told me. I wasn't around in 4.x
but seriously, I ask because I like to play all roles but want to prioritise gearing DPS if it's an alliance raid coming out next and tank if it's new anything else
new alliance raid is for sure happening
Also I would guess E9-12
they already sort of shown abit of the new map in the last PLL
Even numbered patches are always 8-person raid tiers and ilvl increase. Odds are always alliance raids.
Yeah those are constant as well.
so because 5.3 is next, then it's alliance raid time? Do I understand that right?
yes you understood that right
Also, a question. Are ex trials approached the same as savage raids (with learning parties and whatnot)? I wanna do Titania ex after I knock out 5.0 for the pretty mount.
aiiiight
we're also getting an unreal trial
ex trials are generally more lenient
compared to savages
Can healers attack well? Won a trial when the last player standing was a healer, she finished the boss who only had ~5%health.
thank you thank you
What was the spell? Level 60
Can I do Titania ex with my role gear (i430) and a relic weapon? Scholar for reference.
Healers are expected to DPS every GCD they don't spend healing. I even made a macro to explain this to newbies in low level dungeons.
@gritty oracle min ilvl for titania ex is 430
yes, relic weapon is way overpowered for when titania ex was current content. you can up your gear easily too
Healers have one standard GCD damage spell (Stone, Ruin, Malefic) and one standard GCD dot (Aero, Bio/Biolysis, Combust)
Thx
healers also have 1 aoe spell (holy, art of war, gravity)
Yes
and they have unique spells to their kits
like assize, energy drain, earthly star
that also deal damage
wait wtf I just realised 5.2 added an alliance raid as well though

or am I reading these patch notes on lodestone wrong
it didn't.
nope it did not
5.2 added eden 5-8
and anamnesis anyder the dungeon
as well as ruby weapon
Copied Factory was 5.1
and memoria misera ex
oh
The quests for YorHa added in 5.2 were just a couple interlude quests. No new alliance raid.
this page seems really confusing then
did they just compile all 5.x additions into this page that's labelled Patch 5.2 Notes?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b0151eaed1faecb46061b947cf9c08bed75d230d/
OH okay
Nope
I guess these are interlude, nvm
May I take this time to say that the chief is the best.
That aside, quests added are in a separate category from battle content added.
So the quests category mentions Eden and Sorrows of Werlyt, but if you scroll further down, you’ll also see entries for Eden’s Verse and Cinder Drift.
I see I see I see
so when are they going to make up for lost time with Hildibrand quests???
AKA the real MSQ
That said it is pretty unusual that more YoRHa quests were in 5.2. I believe it’s the first time they added an interlude like that.
They decided on taking a break from hildibrand for this expansion
since it felt overdone
preorder cancelled
Also no Hildy this time yeah
I hope that only means the next expac will be entirely Hildibrand
In fairness, Hildibrand would have made little sense in the context of ShB. Those questlines have always been sort of heavily tied in with the core theme of the expansion.
How do you abandon levquest trial Leves? The one where you have to do a leve to unlock Leves in a city
Those can’t be abandoned
All others can but the ones that unlock a new quest giver can’t
I abandoned the Hildebrand quest because I was at max quests accepted. Trying to get it back but can’t find it
Mmm depends on where you left off. Do you remember the last one you did?
Near Waking Sands, Ul’dah
if it's the one i'm thinking of it's either in that area or in northern thanalan
If it ended with elf dude chasing Hildy, then it’s still in Vesper Bay.
What does the magicked prism (job mastery) item do?
it's a little firework effect that puts 3 stars above your head.
Oh okay, thanks
What’s a good way to increase your desynth skill? Have a lot of items that are -200 desynth ideal skill and I only have 120. Or just desynth them anyways?
desynth them anyways.
Desynth is now guaranteed to succeed no matter the level difference so any progress is good progress.
As long as they're equal to or higher than your current desynth level you'll get skill ups
Being at the "ideal level" just increases the chance of getting special items when desynthing
Increases mind you not guarantees

if theres so many skills how do you memorise them all >.<
just keep practicing 🤷
i yet have to start playing, i created my char last night and went to sleep
reading through the player guide on the site rn
it's easier in practice
Remember that you get the skills as you level up, giving you time to learn them and where to use them
(of course this doesn't apply for the expansion jobs as they start at level 30, 50, or 60, but you can replicate the experience by going into lower level dungeons)
level 15 in the story
A lot of side quests have disappeared. Do they automatically do that once you get a high enough level?
When is Raiden Thrust useful? It has less potency than Fang and Claw and Wheeling Thrust when executed from behind an enemy. And it does not extend Blood of the Dragon.
Anyway to get them back?
@gloomy mortar Make sure you are in the area of the side quest for it to appear
You cant be in a different zone and check another zone's side quests
@leaden ginkgo Raiden Thrust replaces True Thrust when you hit both positionals
!action true thrust
!action raiden thrust
it's +40 potency plus the potency bonuses of hitting the positions of Fang and Claw + Wheeling Thrust
